[Destiny Strings] Fate Viewer and Dual Persona plotting post

[operationbox]

	KAITO WATARI THE MOON RANK: ??? A close friend from her own world, Io fought at his side for a good portion of the campaign against the Septentriones, and his assistance shortly before the ritual to release the Dragon Stream saved her life. Since then, her crush on him has developed into something more, to the point that when she went crazy from a Zodiac effect, he was her obsession. She's... still trying to make up for that. Their Dual Persona is unknown.
	DAICHI SHIJIMA THE CHARIOT RANK: ??? Kaito's friend from high school, who was also with the two for most of the Septentrion campaign. A risky maneuver on his part led to the defeat of the first Septentrion, and when the civilian adjuncts and JP's personnel split ideologically, it was he that Io chose to rally behind, at least until Kaito managed to convince them both that the Anguished One's and his own plan was better. Their Dual Persona is unknown.
	YAMATO HOUTSUIN THE CHARIOT RANK: ??? The Chief of JP's back on their world. This Yamato, however, appears to be from an alternate reality in which "Hiro Kageyama" sided with Ronaldo. Their Dual Persona is unknown.
	FUMI KANNO THE MAGICIAN RANK: ??? A researcher that used to be with JPs. Io isn't sure about the exact details of the version of their world she's from, but Fumi clearly has some sort of respect for Io regarding the possibility of undergoing further trials to gain powers. Their Dual Persona is unknown.
	MIYAKO HOUTSUIN JUSTICE RANK: ??? Yamato's possibly identical twin sister. She's not from the same world Io is, or if she is Miyako's existence was never revealed. Their Dual Persona is unknown.
	AL SAIDUQ THE UNKNOWN RANK: ??? AKA Alcor, or the Anguished One. The soul and guardian of the new world, and dedicated watcher of humanity since time unrecorded.
	THE ANGUISHED ONE THE STAR, REVERSED RANK: ??? An alternate version of Al Saiduq. Admittedly, Io has no idea what's up with him... Their Dual Persona is unknown.
	LUCINA JUSTICE RANK: 1 A girl from a world very different from Io's, where swords and magic are the order of the day. Io's and Lucina's memories were tangled up, so each is privy to much more of the other's life than would most likely have come up in conversation. Their Dual Persona is unknown.

LET'S PLOTTING

[terminally_clever]

Okay, so, notes I have on their Dual Persona so far. It's Oghma, the Celtic god of knowledge. Fumi's got Lovers as a bad arcana, so she won't be able to use Io's emotional skill. And as far as what each of their Personas can contribute to the end product (leveled up appropriately):

VAPULA:
Destiny String -> String Knot
Dodge Ice -> Evade Ice
CommLink -> Mass CommLink
Strength Scan -> Hard Scan
Weakness Scan -> Liquid Scan

HATHOR:
Destiny String -> String Knot
Relaxing Wave -> Calming Wave
Media -> Mediarama
Black Wall -> Black Blockade
Mediarama -> Diarahan
CommLink -> Mass CommLink

We'll also need to figure out emotional skills based on how they feel about each other.

YEAH!

For the contributions, I think Liquid Scan and Mediarama is a good set.

And Io's Emotion Skill is sort of a trust of rationality - she thinks that just about anything scientific Fumi says is going to be accurate, even if she can't understand it... and yet I'm not sure how to translate that into a skill.

And as far as Fumi's concerned, she likes that Io is proactive about gathering knowledge and brave enough to step up when it's needed.

I'm having a similar sort of problem trying to condense that into a several-word phrase and slapping a skill effect on it, though.

First Draft!
